Molecular basis for assembly of the shieldin complex and its implications for NHEJ.

ABSTRACT: Shieldin, including SHLD1, SHLD2, SHLD3 and REV7, functions as a bridge linking 53BP1-RIF1 and single-strand DNA to suppress the DNA termini nucleolytic resection during non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). However, the mechanism of shieldin assembly remains unclear. Here we present the crystal structure of the SHLD3-REV7-SHLD2 ternary complex and reveal an unexpected C (closed)-REV7-O (open)-REV7 conformational dimer mediated by SHLD3. We show that SHLD2 interacts with O-REV7 and the N-terminus of SHLD3 by forming β sheet sandwich. Disruption of the REV7 conformational dimer abolishes the assembly of shieldin and impairs NHEJ efficiency. The conserved FXPWFP motif of SHLD3 binds to C-REV7 and blocks its binding to REV1, which excludes shieldin from the REV1/Pol ζ translesion synthesis (TLS) complex. Our study reveals the molecular architecture of shieldin assembly, elucidates the structural basis of the REV7 conformational dimer, and provides mechanistic insight into orchestration between TLS and NHEJ.

53BP1 cooperation with the REV7-shieldin complex underpins DNA structure-specific NHEJ.

Project description:53BP1 governs a specialized, context-specific branch of the classical non-homologous end joining DNA double-strand break repair pathway. Mice lacking 53bp1 (also known as Trp53bp1) are immunodeficient owing to a complete loss of immunoglobulin class-switch recombination1,2, and reduced fidelity of long-range V(D)J recombination3. The 53BP1-dependent pathway is also responsible for pathological joining events at dysfunctional telomeres4, and its unrestricted activity in Brca1-deficient cellular and tumour models causes genomic instability and oncogenesis5-7. Cells that lack core non-homologous end joining proteins are profoundly radiosensitive8, unlike 53BP1-deficient cells9,10, which suggests that 53BP1 and its co-factors act on specific DNA substrates. Here we show that 53BP1 cooperates with its downstream effector protein REV7 to promote non-homologous end joining during class-switch recombination, but REV7 is not required for 53BP1-dependent V(D)J recombination. We identify shieldin-a four-subunit putative single-stranded DNA-binding complex comprising REV7, c20orf196 (SHLD1), FAM35A (SHLD2) and FLJ26957 (SHLD3)-as the factor that explains this specificity. Shieldin is essential for REV7-dependent DNA end-protection and non-homologous end joining during class-switch recombination, and supports toxic non-homologous end joining in Brca1-deficient cells, yet is dispensable for REV7-dependent interstrand cross-link repair. The 53BP1 pathway therefore comprises distinct double-strand break repair activities within chromatin and single-stranded DNA compartments, which explains both the immunological differences between 53bp1- and Rev7- deficient mice and the context specificity of the pathway.

Molecular mechanisms of assembly and TRIP13-mediated remodeling of the human Shieldin complex.

Project description:The Shieldin complex, composed of REV7, SHLD1, SHLD2, and SHLD3, protects DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) to promote nonhomologous end joining. The AAA+ ATPase TRIP13 remodels Shieldin to regulate DNA repair pathway choice. Here we report crystal structures of human SHLD3-REV7 binary and fused SHLD2-SHLD3-REV7 ternary complexes, revealing that assembly of Shieldin requires fused SHLD2-SHLD3 induced conformational heterodimerization of open (O-REV7) and closed (C-REV7) forms of REV7. We also report the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of the ATPγS-bound fused SHLD2-SHLD3-REV7-TRIP13 complexes, uncovering the principles underlying the TRIP13-mediated disassembly mechanism of the Shieldin complex. We demonstrate that the N terminus of REV7 inserts into the central channel of TRIP13, setting the stage for pulling the unfolded N-terminal peptide of C-REV7 through the central TRIP13 hexameric channel. The primary interface involves contacts between the safety-belt segment of C-REV7 and a conserved and negatively charged loop of TRIP13. This process is mediated by ATP hydrolysis-triggered rotatory motions of the TRIP13 ATPase, thereby resulting in the disassembly of the Shieldin complex.

Molecular basis for GIGYF-TNRC6 complex assembly.

Project description:The GIGYF proteins interact with 4EHP and RNA-associated proteins to elicit transcript-specific translational repression. However, the mechanism by which the GIGYF1/2-4EHP complex is recruited to its target transcripts remain unclear. Here, we report the crystal structures of the GYF domains from GIGYF1 and GIGYF2 in complex with proline-rich sequences from the miRISC-binding proteins TNRC6C and TNRC6A, respectively. The TNRC6 proline-rich motifs bind to a conserved array of aromatic residues on the surface of the GIGYF1/2 GYF domains, thereby bridging 4EHP to Argonaute-miRNA complexes. Our structures also reveal a phenylalanine residue conserved from yeast to human GYF domains that contributes to GIGYF2 thermostability. The molecular details we outline here are likely to be conserved between GIGYF1/2 and other RNA-binding proteins to elicit 4EHP-mediated repression in different biological contexts.

Molecular basis for DNA strand displacement by NHEJ repair polymerases.

Project description:The non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway repairs DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in all domains of life. Archaea and bacteria utilize a conserved set of multifunctional proteins in a pathway termed Archaeo-Prokaryotic (AP) NHEJ that facilitates DSB repair. Archaeal NHEJ polymerases (Pol) are capable of strand displacement synthesis, whilst filling DNA gaps or partially annealed DNA ends, which can give rise to unligatable intermediates. However, an associated NHEJ phosphoesterase (PE) resects these products to ensure that efficient ligation occurs. Here, we describe the crystal structures of these archaeal (Methanocella paludicola) NHEJ nuclease and polymerase enzymes, demonstrating their strict structural conservation with their bacterial NHEJ counterparts. Structural analysis, in conjunction with biochemical studies, has uncovered the molecular basis for DNA strand displacement synthesis in AP-NHEJ, revealing the mechanisms that enable Pol and PE to displace annealed bases to facilitate their respective roles in DSB repair.

Structural Basis for Mis18 Complex Assembly and its Implications for Centromere Maintenance

Project description:The centromere, defined by the enrichment of CENP-A (a Histone H3 variant) containing nucleosomes, is a specialised chromosomal locus that acts as a microtubule attachment site. To preserve centromere identity, CENP-A levels must be maintained through active CENP-A loading during the cell cycle. A central player mediating this process is the Mis18 complex (Mis18α, Mis18β and Mis18BP1), which recruits the CENP-A specific chaperone HJURP to centromeres for CENP-A deposition. Here, using a multi-pronged approach, we characterise the structure of the Mis18 complex and show that multiple hetero- and homo-oligomeric interfaces facilitate the hetero-octameric Mis18 complex assembly composed of 4 Mis18α, 2 Mis18β and 2 Mis18BP1. Evaluation of structure-guided/separation-of-function mutants reveals structural determinants essential for cell cycle controlled Mis18 complex assembly and centromere maintenance. Our results provide new mechanistic insights on centromere maintenance, highlighting that while Mis18α can associate with centromeres and deposit CENP-A independently of Mis18β, the latter is indispensable for the optimal level of CENP-A loading required for preserving the centromere identity.

DNA Repair Network Analysis Reveals Shieldin as a Key Regulator of NHEJ and PARP Inhibitor Sensitivity.

Project description:Repair of damaged DNA is essential for maintaining genome integrity and for preventing genome-instability-associated diseases, such as cancer. By combining proximity labeling with quantitative mass spectrometry, we generated high-resolution interaction neighborhood maps of the endogenously expressed DNA repair factors 53BP1, BRCA1, and MDC1. Our spatially resolved interaction maps reveal rich network intricacies, identify shared and bait-specific interaction modules, and implicate previously concealed regulators in this process. We identified a novel vertebrate-specific protein complex, shieldin, comprising REV7 plus three previously uncharacterized proteins, RINN1 (CTC-534A2.2), RINN2 (FAM35A), and RINN3 (C20ORF196). Recruitment of shieldin to DSBs, via the ATM-RNF8-RNF168-53BP1-RIF1 axis, promotes NHEJ-dependent repair of intrachromosomal breaks, immunoglobulin class-switch recombination (CSR), and fusion of unprotected telomeres. Shieldin functions as a downstream effector of 53BP1-RIF1 in restraining DNA end resection and in sensitizing BRCA1-deficient cells to PARP inhibitors. These findings have implications for understanding cancer-associated PARPi resistance and the evolution of antibody CSR in higher vertebrates.

Disassembly of the Shieldin Complex by TRIP13.

Project description:In the past decade, the study of the major DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathways, homologous recombination (HR) and classical non-homologous end joining (C-NHEJ), has revealed a vast and intricate network of regulation. The choice between HR and C-NHEJ is largely controlled at the step of DNA end-resection. A pro-C-NHEJ cascade commencing with 53BP1 and culminating in the newly discovered REV7-Shieldin complex impedes end resection and therefore HR. Importantly, loss of any component of this pathway confers PARP inhibitor resistance in BRCA1-deficient cells; hence, their study is of great clinical importance. The newest entrant on the scene of end resection regulation is the ATPase TRIP13 that disables the pro-C-NHEJ cascade by promoting a novel conformational change of the HORMA protein REV7. Here, we tie these new findings and factors with previous research on the regulation of DSB repair and HORMA proteins, and suggest testable hypotheses for how TRIP13 could specifically inactivate REV7-Shieldin to promote HR. We also discuss these biological questions in the context of clinical therapeutics.

Structural and molecular basis of the assembly of the TRPP2/PKD1 complex.

Project description:Mutations in PKD1 and TRPP2 account for nearly all cases of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). These 2 proteins form a receptor/ion channel complex on the cell surface. Using a combination of biochemistry, crystallography, and a single-molecule method to determine the subunit composition of proteins in the plasma membrane of live cells, we find that this complex contains 3 TRPP2 and 1 PKD1. A newly identified coiled-coil domain in the C terminus of TRPP2 is critical for the formation of this complex. This coiled-coil domain forms a homotrimer, in both solution and crystal structure, and binds to a single coiled-coil domain in the C terminus of PKD1. Mutations that disrupt the TRPP2 coiled-coil domain trimer abolish the assembly of both the full-length TRPP2 trimer and the TRPP2/PKD1 complex and diminish the surface expression of both proteins. These results have significant implications for the assembly, regulation, and function of the TRPP2/PKD1 complex and the pathogenic mechanism of some ADPKD-producing mutations.
